I've been rewriting the parts of the socket stuff dealing with atomic
and connectionless protocols, and discovered this interesting tidbit:
if you receive, in AF_UNIX, with MSG_PEEK, a message containing "rights"
(file descriptors), you get those descriptors then and there. If you
then receieve without MSG_PEEK, you get them *again*, with apparently
disastrous effect.
Is this not a bug? How come I haven't seen anything posted about it?
(There are several other bugs in soreceive dealing with MSG_PEEK, too.)
